Love all that you found! But, ummm, think the last is a violet... The gaywing is not one I've seen before.

Thanks. Great to have someone that actually reads my posts and looks at all the photos.
Here's a violet I found recently. They are a little different. The gaywings are a ground cover very similar to wintergreen in fact they are sometimes called flowering wintergreen but they don't have the red berries.
I used to have 8 different violets here in the yard, but I think I'm down to 4 now...
I need to get to know my violets better. There are definitely a couple of different type growing wild around here but I haven't learned the varieties.
